The attacks targets the routing information which is being exchanged among nodes. The data in the table is altered and attacker then attracts or repel network traffic, generate false error messages, increase latency or even partition the network. The next node generally depends on the previous node(s) table to create routing paths.
Selective forwarding
The attacker forwards only specific packets to next node, it generally chooses which kind of packet to forward. These attacks are effective if the attacker is in the path of the data flow. The attacker may choose to act as a black hole and just absorb the packet but then some nodes may declare it as failed. The assumption in multihop network is the trust relation among participating nodes about forwarding packets. Selective forwarding can also be caused by jamming or collision (physical or link layer) of a node outside the data flow.

Sybil attacks are a threat to geographical routing protocols, since they require the exchange of coordinates for efficient packet routing. Ideally, a node only sends a set of coordinates, but under a Sybil attack, an attacker could pretend to be in many places at once. The Sybil attack can significantly reduce the effectiveness of fault-tolerant schemes such as distributed storage dispersity and multipath routing, and topology maintenance. Replicas, storage partitions, or routes believed to be using disjoint nodes could in actuality be using a single adversary presenting multiple identities. All of the techniques involve utilizing multiple identities. For instance, in a sensor network voting scheme, the Sybil attack might utilize multiple identities to generate additional “votes”. Similarly, to attack the routing protocol, the Sybil attack would rely on a malicious node taking on the identity of multiple nodes, and thus routing multiple paths through a single malicious
I have to pull two alleles (two straws) from the bag to represent one fish because fishes like humans get two alleles one from their father and one from their mother.
A replay attack is a form of network attack in which a valid data transmission is

Without proper protection, any part of any network can be susceptible to attacks or unauthorized activity. Routers, switches, and hosts can all be violated by professional hackers, company competitors. In fact, according to several studies, more than half of all network attacks are waged internally. To determine the best ways to protect against attacks, we should understand the many types of attacks that can be instigated and the damage that these attacks can cause to data. The most common types of attacks include Denial of Service (DoS), password, an...
Each packet would begin at some specified source node and end at some other specified destination node. The particular route that the packet took would be unimportant, only the final results counted. Each packet would be tossed around like a hot potato from node to node, more or less in the direction of its destination, until it ended up in the proper place. If big chunks of the network were blown away, which wouldn't matter, the packets would still stay airborne, moving across the field by whatever nodes happened to survive.
Protocols are a common focus of attack because of the number of devices that can be targeted. Devices made by different vendors are able to communicate and work with each other because of standard protocols that allow them to understand each other. The wide use of these protocols makes them an appealing target to attackers. If a flaw can be found in a popular protocol, then many devices made by different vendors will be vulnerable to the attack. There are a number of different protocols over the years that have been updated due to vulnerabilities found in their original versions, a prime example being the SSH protocol.
Terrorism is a growing threat in modern times. Ultimately all activities need co-ordination and such co-ordination is facilitated by communication. Terrorist activities need communication as well as any other activity. In order to avoid getting traced, such communication can be done over secure lines on open public networks or hacked private networks.
There can be collisions when two nodes want to communicate at the same time on the same bus.
Based on defense mechanism goals and attacker knowledge, the classification of the privacy preserving mechanisms used in location-based services will be presented in this section as shown in figure
indent To alleviate the second problem, if a node has both unicast and broadcast packets to send, it negotiates the broadcast packets first. Also, smaller backoff windows are used for broadcast negotiation. The ATIM-BRD packets are control packetss used for broadcast communication. The sending node randomly selects available time slots and sends out the CUBs and CABs it plans on using for the broadcast. The nodes in the vicinity of the sending node update their CUBs based on the ATIM-BRD packet.
OSNs are more vulnerable than any other web application because of the great amount of personal information they get. In fact, vulnerability is a weakness that allows the attacker to compromise the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the system. This vuln...
Since nodes themselves are not relied upon for communication, the failure of a single node is not problematic for the rest of the network. For a major issue to occur, there must be a problem with the bus itself. Despite its simplicity and reliability, the bus network does have several limitations. The cable length of the bus is limited due to data loss. Also, a bus network may have performance issues if the nodes are located at scattered points and do not lie near a common line....
...ys during the process of exchanging keys of both hosts. Normally the data will be directly transmitted from your network to the network of your friend. However, due to the communication path being intercepted by the attacker, the data will now transfer to the attacker’s network first before transfer to your friend. As the public keys are still in the attack’s hand, the attacker can now decrypt the data sent by both of you, which results the data or the communication detail between you and your friend being stolen (Refer to Figure 2.2 in Appendix 2).
The adaptive steganography approach to Byzantine fault tolerance is defined not only by the analysis of local-area networks, but also by the key need for the Internet [15]. In this work, we show the improvement of the transistor. In order to answer this problem, we prove that Smalltalk can be made random, scalable, and linear-time.
The internet offers high speed connectivity between countries, which allows criminals to commit cybercrimes from anywhere in the world. Due to the demand for the internet to be fast, networks are designed for maximum speed, rather than to be secure or track users (“Interpol” par. 1). This lack of security enables hacker...
